Fischer Defeats Cardoso In Chess
Brooklyn Youth Triumphs in Second Game of Series Here After 31 Moves
Bobby Fischer of Brooklyn, the 14-year-old national open chess champion, yesterday won the second contest in his eight-game match with Rodolfo Cardoso of Manila, 19, junior champion of the Philippines, at the Manhattan Chess Club.
Cardoso adopted the Sicilian defense, but lost time in the opening with defensive play on the queen's side of the board.
Fischer built a strong attack against the black king by advancing his pawns, and, by sacrificing one of his bishops, initiated a brilliant winning combination. He scored after thirty-one moves.
The first game had been adjourned with Fischer a pawn ahead.
